Very informative
The book was better than I expected. Dave Canterbury is very informative, extensively reviewing what to do when help is far away and giving valuable information so you don’t become part of the wilderness (6ft under). And with the addition of Doctor Jason Hunt, this book becomes even more exceptionally informative and helpful when administering first aid correctly and when to do it. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to those looking to extend their first aid skills in the wild, or if you’re starting, this book gives lots of advice and extensive medical procedures regarding wilderness first aid.

Fascinating
An amazing book that covers so much. Well researched, presented, and extremely useful. My husband is a big outdoor man and I am interested in historical medicine so this book set was perfect for us.

This is the one you have been looking for
This is a comprehensive guide to prevent or take care of just about anything that can befall one when they are enjoying the great outdoors. It’s the one I’ve been waiting for. It’s not random or vague, it’s about real things and what to do. From rub some dirt on it and go on to just this side of surgery. I have the hard copy and the e-version and I’ll take both to the woods with me. Best of all it has an extensive index. Read it, read it, read it.🤠

Almost but not quite entirely useless
To be fair, I am not completely new to first aid. Nevertheless, this book would be useful only to the greenest most inexperienced beginner. Ninety percent of the advice boils down to “you should evacuate the victim.” I was hoping this book, the title including as it does the word “bushcraft,” would include some substantive guidance about what to do when evacuation is NOT an available or easy option. I was disappointed. Other than a section at the end about medicinal plants, there is very little in this book that makes it any different than any other introductory first aid manual that assumes and relies on professional medical intervention to handle all but the most basic conditions.

Bad Info & Not a Substitute for a WFA Course
Having taken wilderness first aid and read a number of different books to keep fresh, I would rate this book the very bottom. It combines WFA protocols like APVU (to check Level of Responsiveness) and the ABCs. But it does so in a sloppy fashion. It tells you to check responsiveness before checking to see if someone is bleeding out (good news, they were alert! until bad news! they bled out because I waited to check that). For all of this, the flow of the book seems to suggest the first thing you should do is start a fire and start boiling water (is someone giving birth?). The point of memorizing acronyms and protocols is you are in a high stress situation and the training takes over. Any first aid book is only a secondary resource, but it has to get the order right. First check CABDE (Circulation, Airway, Breathing, Deformity, Environment). Then you can check responsiveness. Multiple different books cover this in the same way. Why is this book different?First aid in the backcountry is a serious charge, not a place for amateur hour. IF you are serious about wanting to know what to do, find an accredited book — but even more importantly, sign up to get Wilderness First Aid certified so you aren’t at the mercy of people trying to fit serious medical advice into their “brand” of bushcraft advice.

Got to be honest and I hated have to write this but I wanted to make sure people knew what they were getting before they read this. Worst part is that if you went to any basic military training, you know sooooo much more already. If you were a boyscout, you could have wrote a better book. If you own an etch-a-sketch, you can draw better than the illustrations. I even showed the pictures to people and said “What is this a picture of?” Nobody got “HIVES” right. I asked almost 100 people! Zero right.Here’s the funny part. THE PhD that wrote it doesn’t really explain what to do in most cases but defaults to the last line or two saying essentially “SEEK PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY”. No sh@#? If I could seek professional medical attention immediately why would I need a book on First Aid for “BUSHCRAFT”?So, If you are totally unknowledgeable on how to put on a band-aid, this might be the book for you. If you never plan on going into the Bush, then this might be the book for you. If you wanted something to try on your etch-a-sketch, this might be the book for you.

Waaay Better Than I Expected! 7 Stars
Along with his own obviously extensive experience, Dave has outsourced invaluable medical information from a medical professional friend of his, and together they have provided us “preppers” with… yet another invaluable resource for wilderness first aid. I pre-ordered this because I knew that I wouldn’t be let down and I am happy to say that I was/am not! I like the story examples inside too, very nice touch. There are a lot of books out there on this stuff, but so far Dave’s books are the ones I can read and confidently walk away from, knowing that I’m better prepared to face the challenges that potentially lie in wait before all of us who would dare to venture out into the bush and take advantages of what the great outdoors has to offer. Not full of a bunch of stuff that really isn’t practical at all. This stuff is practical and positions us so much better to face things as they come along. These tactics will buy us TIME and oftentimes solve the problems we face, and you can’t ask for more than that! A bit more humor, perhaps :)This one also has photos of useful plants inside of it, several pages identifying plants that will most certainly come in handy. And if ppl don’t know by now to make tea with pine needles for vitamin c, then pay more attention!Dave, your books are all going with me my “friend” whom i don’t know!. Wherever I go, in my BOB. Well, the 4 main books. Maybe the last 3.. if I’m comfortable that I’ve retained all of the first.Also if you have not yet read a certain line of books from long ago (not THAT long ago), please do! You should start with “Rubber Legs and White Tail Feathers” by Patrick F McManus. I am 100% certain that you and/or your whole family would get a big kick out of them. They’re extremely hilarious, great stories for a campfire! Or anywhere for that matter. One before bed and you go too sleep with a smile, and it takes5-10 minutes max for each one. My mom used to read the short stories to us as kids. They’re SO great!Thanks for another killer read. For those of us who are interested in this sort of thing, it’s a page turner, filled with nothing but useful, concisely written golden nuggets of information and I have absolutely no doubt that they’ll help myself and others thru me many times while I’m here, alive and kicking, post-apocalyptic or not :DDo NOT allow the following to be a discouragement or to prevent yourself from getting this book. I stand by what i am saying about this book being absolutely invaluable. This book really does contain expert medical advice for just about everything you can possibly think of, and then some. It is completely packed full of necessary information that will save countless lives, i have no doubt whatsoever. There’s not much more i can say about this! Buy the book or you’re a dummy lol how’s that? If you don’t get this thing you’re just not that smart! It will save your life if you’re ever in any of the situations, no joke.IF i had to pick one thing that would be a con, it would be at the parts where there isn’t enough detail, where we’re left hanging without any further advice on where to go. Things that are super important…. Yes the book would be 3 pages longer, but if a revised edition were to be made, it really should include some further detail on what to do next in certain situations. For example, it talks about a broken bone, protruding from the leg. Well, putting a soft blanket or something of the sort over it and keeping it there, then awaiting professional medicals to come and save the day is all well and good. But what if you’re on a four month trip and you’re a week out and have no cell reception. I mean, i need to know how to set the leg. Is this not why the PHD Jason Hunt is co-author? So, another paragraph is DEFINITELY in order. You can easily put up a disclaimer, but…. i suspect it’s to avoid liability from somebody screwing up with something so serious. But the way i see it, if you can tell us how to create a vent for a sucking chest wound like a bullet, then you can continue on with what to do after that! But it stops there…. How do you set a leg after it’s broken? For the chest wound when sepsis is setting in, how do you fix that or is the person just going to die? We don’t only need to know how to make a vent, we need to know what to do if there is no help on the way, because we are after all in the bush! Do we suture the wound and if so, how do we know when to do this? How do we know if there’s infection there in that wound where suturing would be a bad idea? Same with the bone thing… Other than that, it’s my only only con. It is only some of the very serious, life threatening situations where the medical advice stops at the first step and then you’re left wondering how to proceed from there if there’s no help on the way. Another example is a tourniquet. I have a medical professional tourniquet. But when the book describes using one (only if it’s ABSOLUTELY) necessary, it says to use it and then wait for medical professional. Another part where we’re left hanging, wondering what we should do after that. Again, is the person just going to die if the femoral artery is severed and that’s that? It says we don’t want to risk a clot if we remove the tourniquet. Great advice! But what do we do to prevent that? Should we fully flush out the wound again, removing any clotted blood, then remove it and apply more pressure if it’s bleeding because we flushed it again? There are other examples, but not a ton of them. But these are legit questions! So i hope there’s a revision honestly. I have post-its all over the place with further questions for how to proceed…. All of which i will be answering myself from research and writing into the pages so that this book is a solid go-to when it is needed.Looking forward to future books!Jon

Diffetent perspective-After a career in EMS
My career was Emergency Medical Services. I did Wilderness Rescue for a very short season (did not like spending a day off “working” in the woods). I have tented in every month if the year in Northern New England. The last book that interests me is one on first aid! BUT… This book looked different… BUSHCRAFT First Aid (Bushcraft… Interesting). I like Dave Canterbury (have his other 3 books), but did not know about Jason Hunt. After looking at what Hunt had to offer, I got intrigued! Hunt is solid. So, I ordered the book. I like the approach. Practical, medically appropriate and legally respectful. It is a good reminder/review of what I’ve known. It must be read in the right context and thought process. Scan the big picture, zoom in to a detail and zoom back out to the big picture again. Don’t develop tunnel vision and don’t gloss over important points. Keep a proper perspective. There will be no ambulance to pull supplies from. Use what is available.This book gets added to my outdoor library.In my humble opion the book will serve beginner hiker and seasoned professional alike.

Good refresher!
I’ve taken a first aid class that was not focused on wilderness first aid but my instructor touched on it since we’re in a rural location. This was a great refresher (would be great to read if you have not had a first aid course) and also goes a little more in-depth about how to fully analyze a scenario and make sure it is safe before you end later the scene. I also love that this book includes some plants that you can use for medicine (what the plants look like and what they’re used for). I also really like that it includes a first aid list for when you’re hiking as well as things you could have in a base camp first aid kit. There are some scenarios where they say to seek medical attention and don’t give you any way to treat the illness but it would be nice to know what to do (if anything) if yelp is a long ways away.

Great for anyone!
Great information for anyone. The information in here is great for helping anyone, whether in the city or the outdoors. This alerts of many possible hazards – great for novices with a lot to learn or for a quick resource for those with experience. It lists some great details on prioritizing care for self or others. I love the sample scenarios! This is a book to read before venturing out. Most importantly for novices, it brings an awareness that adventuring in the outdoors comes with additional risks and it is important to be aware of skill and difficulty level. Great illustrations and supply checklists.

Do not expect to use this as an actual source of first aid info
If you already have somwhat of a background in medicine, this book is a waste of time. There are some practical pieces of info for someone who is starting with a fresh slate however the detail is so limited that nothing explained in this book will be sufficient for anyone to safely and adequately perform any type of first aid without any other source of information. It’s a good book to flip through while moving your bowels I guess
